Valve has done nothing that monopolistic corporations have done (i.e. Disney or Nintendo). They have kept themselves relatively small, private, and focused on providing one service really well.
Every other competition has only ever tried approaching what Valve does with Steam with shortcuts and quick money grabs.
It’s all fine and dandy to cry and complain about monopolies, but nobody even really tried. Epic’s store was, and still is, a laughing stock. That is what Valve is up against.
But Steam isn’t a walled garden, or a monopoly.
